Clean edge custom print objects

Abstract

A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with a first layer and a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer, slit-over-perforation line in the sheet, and an object held in the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines define a periphery of the object in the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines include cuts running through the first layer, and perforations running through the second layer underneath the cuts running through the first layer. A method for creating custom print objects includes running a printable blank sheet through a printer, wherein the sheet includes slit-over-perforation lines defining a periphery of an object in the sheet. The sheet is bent along the slit-over-perforation lines to weaken and separate the slit-over-perforation lines, and the object is detached from the sheet.

1 . A method for creating custom print objects, the method comprising:
 running a printable blank sheet through a printer, wherein the sheet includes slit-over-perforation lines defining a periphery of an object in the sheet;   bending the sheet along the slit-over-perforation lines to weaken and separate the slit-over-perforation lines; and   detaching the object from the sheet;   wherein the object has an intricate shape.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet includes a first sheet layer, a second laminate layer, and a third coating layer. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the slit-over-perforation lines include cut lines running through the first sheet layer, and perforations running through the second laminate layer and the third coating layer underneath the cut lines in the first sheet layer. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the second laminate layer is a polyester material with a tensile strength between 70 MPa (10,152.64 psi) and 270 MPa (39,160.18 psi). 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , and further comprising:
 using a computer template to prepare the image that is to be printed on the sheet.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the object with an intricate shape is selected from the group consisting: of a coaster, a door hanger, a luggage tag, a cup sleeve, a bottle hanger, a table tent, a megaphone, a box, and a pamphlet. 
     
     
         7 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 6 , wherein the box is a golf ball sleeve, a playing card box, or a pillow box. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , and further comprising:
 folding the object along scored lines; and   assembling the object into a three-dimensional structure.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the object can be assembled into a three-dimensional structure through the use of tabs and cut lines. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the object can be assembled into a three-dimensional structure through the use of die-cut lines or scored lines. 
     
     
         11 . A method for creating custom print objects, the method comprising:
 running a printable blank sheet through a printer, wherein the sheet includes slit-over-perforation lines defining a periphery of an object in the sheet;   bending the sheet along the slit-over-perforation lines to weaken and separate the slit-over-perforation lines;   detaching the object from the sheet;   folding the object along scored lines; and   assembling the object into a three-dimensional structure.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the sheet includes a first sheet layer, a second laminate layer, and a third coating layer. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the slit-over-perforation lines include cut lines running through the first sheet layer, and perforations running through the second laminate layer and the third coating layer underneath the cut lines in the first sheet layer. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the second laminate layer is a polyester material with a tensile strength between 70 MPa (10,152.64 psi) and 270 MPa (39,160.18 psi). 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , and further comprising:
 using a computer template to prepare the image that is to be printed on the sheet.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the object has an intricate shape. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the object with an intricate shape is selected from the group consisting: of a coaster, a door hanger, a luggage tag, a cup sleeve, a bottle hanger, a table tent, a megaphone, a box, and a pamphlet. 
     
     
         18 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 17 , wherein the box is a golf ball sleeve, a playing card box, or a pillow box. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the object can be assembled into a three-dimensional structure through the use of at least one of a tab, a die-cut line, and an opening.
